Principal's Message

By Jenny Hassett

Mobile Phones

A reminder to all parents and students that mobile phones MUST be handed in at the office before school and collected at 3.30pm. They will be locked away in the safe. No child should be using a phone during school hours. If a child needs to make contact with a parent they can come to the office and we will organise a call.

School Crossing

It is a well known fact that children will follow the examples we set. We have a crossing on Ernest St which is patrolled to ensure the safety of all our students. We constantly remind and teach our students to use this facility for their own safety. Unfortunately, some parents are electing to cross with their child in close vicinity to the formal crossing putting themselves and their child at risk. Please work with us and use the crossing.

Keeping Pathways Clear

It is great to see parents getting together socially outside the school after school. Please ensure the pathways are clear and that you are not blocking the walkway, so students do not need to go out on the road to bypass groups. We aim to keep our students as safe as possible at all times. Please be more mindful of your surroundings.

Many thanks

Prep Enrolments 2024

Wow, we are already planning for 2024! We are receiving a great response and many inquiries for enrolment forms for Preps 2024. To ensure we have enough space for siblings in our school, we ask that parents with a child who will begin school next year to collect and complete an enrolment form ASAP.  This will allow us to plan ahead as spaces in our school are limited.

Please note we have a number of school tours in the near future. Please check Facebook and call the school if you wish to undertake a tour.

Tour 1: Monday 6th March 4-5pm

Tour 2: Tuesday 7th March 10-11am
